To some people, Autumn is a favorite time of the year. The earth is warm, the vegetation is still green, and the sunshine is still warm on your face. As the weeks go by, many of the leaves begin to change color. Many people make tours to the forest areas, just to see the beautiful color of the leaves on the trees. The
leaves that were green and become yellow, and red, and brown, and almost black. This is truly amazing when you visualize this from a road looking at the horizon in the distance. When I was living in the North Woods of Wisconsin, I was thrilled by the color change each year, and I took many pictures. But the colors were not as vivid as in real life.
When I witness this happening year after year, I become very contemplative as to how and why is this all happening? You might remember that, as the earth rotates around the sun, it is tilted a little, and therefore the sun shines at an angle and produces our seasons. Now you might ask how did all this happen?
There are many theories, but the one I like the best is the Big Bang Theory, Now I
would like to go to the Bible and go to the Book of Genesis. It says that at the beginning there was a void, i.e. nothing there. Then God said "BANG", and everything fell in place. It says that God created the heaven and the earth. Now out of all the planets, God chose planet earth, and He put a little tilt on it to produce our seasons. In a way He gave us special treatment.
In the fall every year the leaves and the seeds fall to the earth only to come back next spring and regrow. There is a parable that says that a grain of wheat must die to produce a plant. That also applies to us humans since we are part of the animal system on earth. Our human body will die, but God made humans special by putting a spiritual soul in each of us. He put a little bit of Himself in each one of us which is spiritual like Him. This soul will leave our animal bodies when we die and go to heaven to be with Him if we were good.
My wife, Dorothy, died 15 months ago, and she told me she wanted to be buried in the ground. She was a very good and holy person. I was alarmed when she talked to me 1 month after she died. I heard her voice at two different times. Also about 3 days later, my grandson's wife, Kate, was sleeping, and she saw Dorothy, very radiant,in her dream. Dorothy also spoke to her. This is all happening 1 month after her death.
Recently I read in the paper that there are some people that don't believe in God or follow a specific religion. It is my belief that it is very difficult to deny that there is no human spirituality, or, if they do, not to follow a particular church. A person has to learn the difference between good and evil, and the best place is to go to church. This education has to start early and last a life time.
